Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in non-U.S. securities. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across countries and regions, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

The following information replaces the management fee information for International Discovery found in the "Fund Management" section beginning on page 18.

<R>For International Discovery, the fee is determined by calculating a basic fee and then applying a performance adjustment. The performance adjustment either increases or decreases the management fee, depending on how well International Discovery has performed relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. For fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, International Discovery did not have a performance adjustment.</R>

For the period prior to October 1, 2004, International Discovery did not have a performance adjustment. During a transition period from October 1, 2004 to September 1, 2005, there will be no performance adjustment for International Discovery and the fund's management fee will equal the basic fee rate. Beginning September 1, 2005, the fund's performance adjustment will take effect and the fund will compare its performance to the MSCI EAFE Index. The performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous eleven months. Thereafter, a new month will be added until the performance period equals 36 months. Subsequently, the performance period will consist of the current month plus the previous 35 months.

The performance adjustment rate is calculated monthly by comparing over the performance period International Discovery's performance to that of the MSCI EAFE Index.

For International Discovery, the performance period will begin on October 1, 2004 and will eventually include 36 months. The performance adjustment will not take effect until September 1, 2005.

<R>The maximum annualized performance adjustment rate is ±0.20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance period. The performance adjustment rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets over the performance period, and the resulting dollar amount is then added to or subtracted from the basic fee.</R>
